Tough but great day to hike #65 on the NE67! Clear skies and great views were had, but the snow was DEEP- 2-3 feet in many places- which made for some tough going. There was a monorail, but it was buried under some newer snow that hadn't been tracked out in a while, so it was hard to discern at times.
Didn't see anyone else once off Sugarloaf. Again, a tough but great day. |
